Can't believe what i am reading tbh. Lost our best attacking player in the summer, was banned from replacing him. The team was weakened going into the season. We just about made 4th place last season, but wasn't that convincing. The season before that we finished 5th. Without Hazard's goals & assists last season, we likely would have finished between 8th-10th. This season we are overachieving tbh. It was obvious to everybody that the team needed fresh blood, but the board sat on their hands season after season. In my opinion, Lampard is doing pretty good with what he's got at his disposal. We also have injuries to key players, including a long term injury to arguably our second best player, Loftus-Cheek. People need to relax and stop being hyperbolic and reactionary.

You are right, but most Chelsea fans are delusional. A realistic fan would think that. I agree with you

Mediocre season in terms of overall quality, home defeats to Southampton and Bornemouth, losing to Newcastle in the last minute after dominating the game, failing to beat 10 men Arsenal at home.  It doesnt matter if you didnt expect a top 4, it was on the sight and he had to win those games.

Poor squad management and lack of clear direction. The only positive thing about Lampard right now is having the balls to bringing young players. 

No it was expected that this would happen. 

I don't understand why people are surprise? We already knew that we was messed up after Hazard left and no transfer window. 

So for me expected.

Simeone then I'd go with Poch 100% because he'd be the most suited to try and follow through with what the club has already started over the last couple of seasons.

Not sure he'd join us to be honest his Tottenham connections would split the fans completely, The hatred of Tottenham is very strong especially amongst the older fans who has to be said are the main core of our home support.

Its no reactionary when you have been in free fall for ages. Its not an overreaction to ask what the fuck we do in training. We lack very much a squad I agree but can we do better? Sure we can. We are better than 1point in every game. Progress must be shown, havent see none of that since oktober. Our rivals have been even worse, none have been able to make a run. Im all for Lamps to stay if we get top4 but even then he really must do better with our issues, we have no structor sadly.

That's like saying without Salah's goals Liverpool wouldn't be the team they are. Sheffield United, Leicester and Wolves are overachieving we are not.

Why should he give a damn? they fired him. Just like we fired JM and months later he was in manu.

Mourinho is a mercenary he'd go anywhere. He's still well liked Poch at Spurs some managers like to maintain their legacy Mourinho doesn't care less.

Difference is, we relied heavily on Hazard to do everything. Salah is Liverpool's main man, but they don't rely on him solely. Mane and Firmino help out immensely too.

On that I agree, he sells himself JM. I just dont think Poch would overly be concerned about it. And Poch has no more legacy in spurs than what he had with Southhampton. He won nothing with them. Sure they wouldnt be fond of it im sure but in the end Poch decides.

Leave it out mate I know a lot of Spurs fans and he's massively popular. They were a mid table club before he came he got them to almost winning the league and the champions league final. He took over from Tim Sherwood for fucks sake Spurs were two bob till he took over.
